Dear all, in the dialog of the composition markers the fields for chapter, URL and additional parameters are missing in After Effects 17. These have been available in older versions. Is it possible to activate these fields again?

The fields that are no longer part of the Layer Marker dialog box supported functionality of now depreceated or discontinued software (namely QuickTime as a system driver for time based media and Adobe Flash/Flash Player).

 

I really miss the option for setting QuickTime Chapter markers, but that's just part of missing QuickTime overall.

Thanks for your answer. It is very disappointing for me that those fields are gone. I wrote a bunch of scripts to export parts of the timeline that make use of information stored in the additional parameters of the layer markers. For me that means sticking to the old version of After Effects.
